Bert steps in, along with her friends Shiv and Carla, to see what clues they can find to exonerate the innocent churchgoer, before the real killer slips through their fingers and gets away with murder.

Killer Apple Pie

However, getting everything organized and ready to open to the public is anything but simple–especially when there is murder involved. After an old friend is found dead in the shop’s back office, Bert is inundated with pompous detectives, money grubbing investors, and unruly customers.

Will Bert be able to sort things out before it’s too late or will this murder put her out of business before she’s even started?
